Chateau Palmer 1989Margaux
5bn, owc
Bottle (12)"One of the superstars of the vintage, Palmer's 1989 retains a
dark plum/purple color with some pink and a hint of amber creeping
in at the rim. A big nose of charcoal, white flowers (acacia?),
licorice, plums, and black currants comes from the glass of this
elegant, medium to full-bodied, very concentrated, seamlessly made
wine. Gorgeous and seemingly fully mature yet brilliantly balanced,
this wine may well turn out to be a modern-day clone of the
glorious 1953." (95pts Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 4th Ed., Jan
2003)
